All Denver Broncos games taking place during the 2013 regular season now will be aired on television for those living in Southwest Colorado.

U.S. Sen. Mark Udall, D-Colo., negotiated a deal with Albuquerque Fox affiliate KASA that will allow residents of La Plata and Montezuma counties to view the Broncos instead of the Dallas Cowboys.

“Colorado is the greatest state in the nation and home to the best team in the National Football League,” Udall, a Broncos fan, said in a news release issued Saturday.

Residents in Southwest Colorado receive programming from Albuquerque, which means Broncos games usually were preempted by Cowboys games.

While this solves the football dilemma for Broncos fans this season, this does not guarantee coverage next season.

“I plan to keep working to find a permanent solution that ensures all Coloradans can watch the Broncos continue to dominate the competition year after year,” Udall said in the news release.

Udall previously worked with KRQE, the Albuquerque CBS affiliate, to ensure Southwest Colorado could watch Broncos games in 2011.

Several Colorado legislators have worked over the last several years to introduce legislation calling for Southwest Colorado access to Denver television. La Plata and Montezuma counties are part of the Albuquerque-designated market areas because of their location and distance from other major areas in Colorado.

U.S. Rep. Scott Tipton, R-Cortez, introduced the Four Corners Television Access Act in April 2012, which would have given Southwest Colorado residents access to Denver television stations. The bill stalled in the Subcommittee on Intellectual Property, Competition and the Internet. At the same time, U.S. Sen. Michael Bennet introduced a similar bill in the Senate.
